ÂThe heating setpoint (HtgSP) is greater than the cooling setpoint (ClgSP). For example, your HtgSP and ClgSP are 20 and 21 respectively (deadband = 1 C), then in your EMS you change to HtgSP = 22 --> error. You must also raise your ClgSP so that it is bigger than the HtgSP. The restriction prohibits sinultanious heating and cooling.On 25 Feb 2016 9:12 pm, "Fakeha Sehar fakeha_s@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:ÂI am using EMS to raise zone temperatures.
